Livingstone has been gigging at Finsbury Park Mosque:
According to Andrew Gilligan:
Ken Livingstone has promised to turn London into a “beacon” for the words of the Prophet Mohammed in a sermon at one of the capital’s most controversial mosques.
Mr Livingstone, Labour’s candidate for mayor of London, pledged to “educate the mass of Londoners” in Islam, saying: “That will help to cement our city as a beacon that demonstrates the meaning of the words of the Prophet.” Mr Livingstone described Mohammed’s words in his last sermon as “an agenda for all humanity.”
He praised the Prophet’s last sermon, telling his audience: “I want to spend the next four years making sure that every non-Muslim in London knows and understands [its] words and message.” He also promised to “make your life a bit easier financially.”
It isn’t clear how he would make their life a bit easier financially (tax advice?), but this sort of communalism has no part in a modern social democratic party like the Labour Party, particularly when coupled with the comments about “rich Jews”.
